Where Is The Next RMC Hybrid Going? (Outdated)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 10 апр 2020
- What park could get an RMC hybrid? That's a question a lot of us have asked since 2011, but over time some about that has changed. Were not looking at retro-fit anymore, were looking ground up. First, a little bit of background. Within ten years of building their first coaster RMC has managed to bring wood structures to the hypercoaster level. Something like that just blows me away considering other manufacturers like GCI, Gravity Group, and Vekoma have yet to build a coaster that tall. Point is, Rocky Mountain Construction is not afraid to be different and take risks, to catch a parks eye. So what about the hyper hybrid. Ever since Texas Giant got refurbished using the IBox track, I think a lot of us pointed a finger at Mean Streak hoping that it would get this treatment. Once the track arrived on site we all would make predictions as to how tall it was gonna be, how fast, and… would it meet expectations. Well, when Steel Vengeance opened not just did it blow everyone away but it also changed the industry forever. Wood structures could grow taller than 200 feet and parks wanted one for themselves. So, on today's episode of Coaster Theory we ask, what parks should get an RMC ground up Hybrid or Hyper Hybrid. Some parks might not have the space to build something as big as Zadra, so maybe it would be a better option to build something like Twisted Timbers or Untamed ground up. We know Energylandia and Busch Gardens Tampa already took their shot, and both coasters are lined up to be some of the best thrill machines in the world. So, what parks would be interesting? We've seen parks all the way from the ‘Best’ amusement park to Zoos in Switzerland to small Six Flags parks get an RMC. So our possibilities are endless! I'll say this right off the bat, if I were to start my own theme park, a Hyper Hybrid would be one of the first coasters I would add. Why is this? Because right now the records are a toss-up. Any park can easily build one foot taller than Zadra to claim the record, and then they would get a lot of attention, that's exactly what we saw at Energylandia. Keep in mind Kolmarden is very small for a theme park and adding a massive wood coaster got them more attention, which makes it possible for a park in the middle of nowhere to want one of these, cause it can put them on the map. Also, the vast majority of these coasters are wood, which makes them cheaper than a B&M, Intamin, Mack… which would make more parks likely to get one.

RMC 2020
fs markus I agree use the old loggers leap layout because the you have the already created Rocky Mountain theme Which would mate a nice fit
Crocky 222 Glad someone else knows the guy
Canada's Wonderland and Carowinds should get a hyper hybrid.
Canada's Wonderland already has three coasters over 200ft. However, they should still get a hybrid. Their coaster lineup could really use some cleaning up so there's really plenty of space if they're willing to rip up an older coaster, and there's also quite a bit of space in the back by Action Theater, which isn't being used for anything outside of Haunt at the moment.
Mark Goulet I kind of agree with you and would rather honestly have a raptor set a hyper hybrid because raptors take up less room into me they honestly look better in the hyper hybrid I have written steel vengeance and that’s like OK but I haven’t ridden raptor yet but honestly something like rail blazer or jersey devil looks a lot better I might be going to great adventure this year to go ride jersey devil I’ll see them what I like better but overall I think a raptor would be a much better fit
Canada's wonderland does not have enough space and RMC cant work it Canada anyways
I think with how Carowinds is positioning themselves as a top tier park in the US, the most notable hole in their lineup is a wooden or hybrid. My bet is either RMC job to hurler, or a GCI woody in place of the rapids ride.
High hopes
Carowinds- RMC Hurler
Six Flags America- RMC Roar
Six Flags Darien Lake- RMC Predator
Fuji Q Highland- Ground up Hyper Hybrid
California Great America- Destroy Grizzly... Ground up Hybrid
Canada's Wonderland- Remove one of the woodies. Ground Up Hyper Hybrid
A raptor would be better for SFA because roar is still a decent ride.
rmc hurler is twisted timbers
grizzly needs to be taken away
Michigan's adventure needs to rmc wolverine wildcat, unlikely beacuse cedar fair never adds anything, but ut would give them a big atendance boost
Coaster Roaster what the hell do meane
Fuji Q is getting a Giga Hybrid
Tbh that actually sounds like something they would do
No a launched strata hybrid with steel vengeance layout
@Jacen McCormick u just described a large do dadonpa lol
UK needs an airtime machine
yeah, they already got inversions down
Obviously
You're my airtime machine
tHoRpE park needs it
Wicker and icon???
It’s unlikely, but I would like to see Kings Island get one
Yeah but I would rather see my home park get a multi-launch coaster. But that is possible!
The racer has gotten really old and I think that it would be good for a hybrid
RMC Beast would be insane
EDS Gaming same
@@mikeyforschner4307 I think a multiple launch coaster would come before a hybrid. But an RMC would make it the king of wood.... x2
Thorpe is my home park, never thought you'd mention it but it would be PERFECT! The closest RMC to me is Untamed which is ridiculous.
There is plenty of space at Thorpe, either in the Loggers Leap spot you mentioned or on the island next to Swarm. There's easily room for a ≈150ft Hybrid. Main issue is Merlin are tight AF, though we haven't had a coaster for nearly a decade so it's well overdue.
By the way the spot of land you earmarked for a raptor is unlikely, Rush (scream+swing) is unlikely to be going anywhere. More likely is them removing the hotel near the entrance and building a bigger one off site then putting a slightly smaller jersey devil layout there
A 150-foot Hybrid would be amazing, and would be a great fit as the long-needed coaster!
I would love to see Kennywood Park get an RMC Hybrid
I love it when American enthusiasts notice us uk people. Thorpe is my home and by god it needs a new coaster. Glorified bouncy castles do not cut it!
Jay Likes coasters How dare you! Bouncezilla is my everything. I
justsamo o chessington bouncezilla is where it’s at
Thorpe will get an RMC in the near future and the war between Alton Towers and Thorpe will be decided.
Justin it’s more of a massacre than a war. Thorpe hasn’t had a coaster since 2012/2013
Megaphobia at Oakwood Wales looks like a candidate, that park needs more rides and upgrades.
Honestly, I would love to see Hersheypark add a Hyper Hybrid to their lineup. They really don't have anything like it, and since I'm only 15, and my parents literally only take me to Hersheypark, that would be my best shot at finally getting on an RMC.
I’m hoping they at least think about it 🙌
I live in Quebec, I'd love RMC Monstre and I'm only 13. I was supposed to go to Bgt this year 😔
Same situation with me like exactly I’m a 15 year old enthusiast that has a season pass too Hersheypark. Except I have been too cedar point and did get on steel vengeance but I wanna see wildcat RMCd so bad
wow, i agree with everything that you say. you have a very good perspective on the industry and you're good at looking beyond the basic ideas of coasters. the quality of these videos are really good. keep it up Zach!
I think a rmc of the boss at sfstl could happen or even remove boss completely and build a ground up hybrid
Grizzly at CGA could be awesome as a launch-lift RMC.
Wouldn't be opposed to CanWon leveling Wilde Beast for a ground-up hybrid, but I expect Dragon Fire will be replaced first.
Cga with another rmc and a bm hyper would make it a top tier cedar fair park
Six flags America is my home park. They NEED to rmc roar. It's rough, and has no airtime. Please six flags america
Abana- -Coaster
My home park is also SF America, sadly. Attendance will absolutely skyrocket if the RMC Roar.
Abana- -Coaster technically I’m closer to SF America but I claim King’s Dominion as my home park 😂 salute to you guys tho for real, I’d love to to see RMC Roar happen!
It's not even that rough in the front though. I'd rather see them get a raptor than RMC roar.
When I’m visiting family and friends, I usually make a trip to SFA out of loyalty (I remember when Cal Ripken did commercials for Adventureworld). The only good thing about it is the lines for any attraction are usually short. Which, coincidentally, is the thing that’s bad about it. This park is in desperate need of something to bring back some excitement. An RMC would be just the thing.
@@CoasterRoaster
Every where else is rough though, but I do agree if u sit in the front
My favorite up and coming coaster youtuber, best thumbnails on youtube!
Thank you! Glad you enjoy the videos!
@@ThemeParkMedia Np, man just keep it up!!
I'm late to this, but I would really like to see The Boss at Six Flags St. Louis get the RMC treatment. The park needs a standout coaster so badly and The Boss is perfect for it, especially now that its signature 570-degree helix is gone. RMC could go absolutely nuts with the terrain around it and make something truly unique.
I don't think Six Flags really cares to put money into St. Louis when its other parks are likely much more profitable... but man, I can dream.
I love the podcast, it’s so entertaining
yes
God, your videos are so high-quality! Love them! Keep it up, mate!
I really love your video's, they are so well thought out. Keep it up!
Just want to say I love your channel and your videos so much! Cheers from India mate.
Being as Kings Island is my home park I would love to see them get a ground up hyper hybrid.
YESS
Evan Honnert I have a feeling they might rmc the beast in like 10 years
M3cX_wiggles22 rmc beast would be insane. It would be the longest rmc ever and would be amazing.
@@Wiggz22 considering The Beast is one of, if not the most iconic and legendary roller coaster of all time, I'm not sure if they'd do it, simply because of the historical value the coaster has.
something I'd find hilarious to see though would be if they rebuilt Son of Beast just to RMC it
plazasta yeah I severely doubt they would ever rmc the beast but it would definitely make a great ride if they did.
Also,your coaster theory vids are great,love them!!
I love your comment
the fact that you included Thorpe is awesome for us UK fans of the channel!
I could honestly (if they had the money for it) see Knoebels doing a conversion on Twister or even just adding an Ibox
You share my 100th anniversary dreams of a Knoebels - RMC team up.
No way, Knoebels is one of the last parks who would do that. A ground up would be one thing, but they would never take the wooden coaster out of Twister. They have one of the best maintenance teams of any park and Twister is running better than ever these days. It would be totally unnecessary.
Awesome Video 👍.
In my opinion, there is no greater layout for an RMC than Hakugei at Nagashima Spa Land. It is 180 and 67 mph, so definitely one of the larger RMCs, it has absolutely phenomenal pacing, and it hauls through the track. Its layout has a double-up, outer-banked turn, double-down, zero-g stall, two wave turns, a zero-g roll, followed by some more airtime hills, (outer) banked turns, and another zero-g roll. Heavenly. Plus it looks absolutely stunning :)
Gardaland or Mirabilandia. There’s no wood in Italy period. There was Sierra Torrante but that got replaced with iSpeed. Gardaland is one of the most attended Merlin parks and the fact that they have no competition in this area is amazing. Parques reunidos don’t invest much except for Mirabilandia. So that kinda gives me hope.
Maybe even Walibi Rhone-Alpes in France since Compaigne des Alpes also own Walibi Holland and they don’t have like a massive woodie that they can retro fit, an exception to other compaigne des alpes’ parks (Parc Asterix, Walibi Belgium).
Also if you want to know more about RMC at Thorpe park you can check out Digital Dan. He’s a perfect representation off UK coaster movement.
These videos all facts and are important to enthusiast’s Desire of new RMC coasters
I’ve never stopped thinking about Wildcat getting the Iron Horse treatment. What you said did make sense, but if it’s all the same to you, I’m still gonna pray.
Fantastic vid!!! 👍👏
Rmc wild beast at Canada’s wonderland, ur vids just keep getting better and better
Coaster Genius agreed with the videos and agreed with Canada’s Wonderland needing an RMC, but I think they should take down Wilde Beast and build a ground up hyper hybrid back there.
The officials at Canada's Wonderland had said that if they do build an RMC hybrid it would be ground up and not a conversion of Minebuster or Wilde Beast. They want to break records.
Hi, someone from the Netherlands here,
Parks over here don't really look at distance when considering new coasters, they mostly look at country's. For instance, a park like Movie Park Germany would not think "oh, Untamed is pretty close, lets not RMC our woodie". Instead, they look at what other parks in their country's are doing, sure, some parks in other, close country's are considerd, but it isn't that big of an influence compared to parks in the same country.
Six Flags St. Louis hasn't had a coaster added since 2013 and that was a Boomerang clone... IRON Boss or IRON Eagle could really benifit
It’s great to see you talking about European parks more, keep it up man!
That RMC in Japan might be the best looking coaster on the planet. Beautiful.
Us Thorpe Park fans joke about getting an RMC Hybrid all the time, but in all seriousness it would be *_the perfect_* fit for the park. The UK really lacks when it comes to modern wooden coasters, with Wicker Man at Alton Towers (2018) and Megafobia at Oakwood (1996) being the only major modern wooden coasters (if you can count 1996 as being modern lol). And in terms of hybrids, the UK has none whatsoever of course (even Europe as a whole only has a few). Installing an RMC Hybrid at Thorpe Park would give the park some real bragging rights and publicity, plus it would finally give the park the standout attraction it so desperately needs. Plus, I can't really see it being installed anywhere else in the UK.
1) Alton Towers is a possibility, but has difficult restrictions and already has a wooden coaster (Wicker Man) that opened recently.
2) Blackpool Pleasure Beach cannot upgrade their old wooden coasters due to conservation of nationally listed structures/buildings and has no other space to fit one.
3) Parks like Flamingo Land would be a bit of a stretch for such a major investment.
4) There aren't really any other major parks that would have the space or money for such an investment.
The only other park that could install an RMC Hybrid in the UK would be the far in the future London Resort park, where construction hasn't even begun yet, so although their massive plot of land would be able to fit a giant (possibly record breaking) RMC Hybrid, it'll be several years before it opens.
Anyway, this comment went on for waaayy too long, so I'm gonna end my point here.
I totally agree. I see Thorpe by far being the most likely option for a big 'woodie' in the UK.
Isn’t Ultimate technically an hybrid.
@@ThemeParkMedia it would go on the island behind the island that the B&M Wing coaster "Swarm" is on...
My home park, Walibi Belgium should RMC weerwolf/loup-garou for shure. That thing is rough (it’s a Vekoma woodie). It has a great layout for an RMC as well.
On my most recent RMC creation in No Limits 2, it has a zero-g stall thats almost flat. It has awesome hangtime and it keeps the pacing alive by not slowing it down too much since it doesn't have to climb very high. Also, it has what I call a double zero g roll, its a floater airtime hill but has a roll on the way up and a roll on the way down. I'm doing my best to keep things original! I really hope RMC will put those elements on a coaster
I so happy you mentioned Thorpe park, it would be perfect. And they tend to build new land for each roller coaster that’s why it seems like they have no land :p
Great video! I’d love to see a Hershey Hyper Hybrid now that you mention it and Fuji Q also would be a great park for a hyper hybrid! Europa Park and Port Aventura would also be great places for a hybrid although I doubt we will see one go to either of those parks.
I Love your Videos.
I love your comment
The layout I would go for is a Hybrid. My park Carowinds Layout: A 180ft lift hill, a drop of 175ft, into a Zero-G Roll, big wave turn, small airtime hill, a double corkscrew, big airtime hill, and 5 bunny hills before pulling into the station. Duration: 1:80
Great video like always but a few things to correct:
- Kolmården isn't a small park, it was unknown before Wildfire yes but in terms of size it's one of the biggest zoo in Europe and is part of a Swedish group of theme parks
- RMC aren't that cheap anymore from what I've heard Untamed costed 15M€, Zadra is around 20M€ and SteVe is around 25M$, that's why they introduced the raptors models now as the cheap alternative. But yeah it's way cheaper than a Mack, a B&M or some Intamin but still in the same price range as a GCI, GG, Gerst or Vekoma :)
Keep up the good work, love your channel and theories ! :D
Thanks for seeing the potential in my (rather small) Homepark Hansa park for an RMC.
I've been saying it for years, it would be a PERFECT Fit, and it would perfectly fit in the Line Up.
Honestly one of the most underrated parks.
Hershey DEFINITELY needs an RMC hybrid. Ever since I first heard of these Hybrids, I knew Wildcat should be turned into one. I think it is definitely possible for the near future, but I’m not sure how soon.
Darien Lake DESPERATELY needs to RMC their old Dinn Corporation woodie Predator
Cedar Fair would be smart to put an RMC hybrid at Dorney. Allentown is about two hours from Philadelphia and only a little bit further from NYC. The coaster lineup is already pretty solid with a hyper, floorless, invert, impulse, classic woody, wild mouse, and kiddie. With an RMC they would not only get more people coming from the local area but the park would become something of a destination especially if people were already going to Hershey or Great Adventure.
I love your channel you have the best videos I want to see more maybe the next giga?🙂
I whole-heartedly agree with updating Hersheypark's Wildcat.. Hershey is my home park, and I really feel that ANY upgrade to that coaster would be well-recieved. I think a nice compromise could be that instead of a GCI retracking, RMC could do a simple steel topper track with new trains and not modifying the layout.
Theme Park Media your videos are great!
Dude, what music is that? 😉
Lol awesome video 👏👍
Hershey park definitely needs a hybrid coaster I visited on opening day this year and throughout the whole time I was thinking that a hybrid coaster would fit perfectly in with skyrush, Candymonium, Great bear, and Fahrenheit
I know there are some weird regulations about RMC working in Canada, but it would be nice to see Le Monstre at La Ronde get RMCed, even though I live nowhere near Montreal.
Rmc is one of the best builders ever and you
an rmc at thorpe would be amazing, though with project exodus happening and it most likely being made by someone like mack for example, i dont see an rmc coming anytime soon
Rocky Point Park in R.I., called the WILDCAT. All went smoothly until a kid stood up, even though there was a sign that said to keep your arms, and legs inside at all times, and wait until the ride fully stopped until the ride was completly stopped
You probably saw it already, but I made an idea for an RMC at thopre recently :) Loving the content btw bud
Fun Spot Atlanta is getting a new★ RMC★ coaster! it's going to be the 𝘴𝘦𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘥 ɢʀᴏᴜɴᴅ up! Coming in 2022
Regarding the question at the end: you should hold a Planet Coaster contest because everyone's inside!
Thought it was funny to watch back this two year old vid. RMC wildcat is basically confirmed and thorpe is getting a mack hyper coaster. Meanwhile walibi holland confirmed a raptor meaning they have two rmcs, while most parks have none.
I think its very unlikely for Hansa Park to get an RMC anytime soon.
1) The park is very small and they probably don't have the budget to get a hyper. They also don't really need a hyper coaster right now imo.
2) The park is literally next to the sea. Like 300 ft away. You can see it from many points in the park. The problem is that land around the park is shaped like a bay so the big structures in the park can be easily seen from nearby beaches. The only reason this isn't a problem with Kärnan is that the only thing you can see from that ride is the big tower. There are some factorys nearby that have a similar brick look to them so it doesn't really stand out as much as a bright wooden structure would. You also would hear the screaming people on an RMC.
3) Safety. I'm not saying that RMCs are unsafe but the wind next to the sea is very strong. The main reason why safety is a concern is that RMCs just don't conform to all the german safety standarts. I know this because Colossos in Heide Park could have been RMCed but the park decided to retrack it instead because of that.
I could totally see Hansa Park getting a GCI or a GG shuttle coaster in the somewhat near future.
An RMC at the park would be great but I don't think it's an realistic option for now.
Six Flags America Needs An Rmc
That spot you pointed out at Thorpe Park where a Raptor could go is actually occupied by 2 rides. Personally, I think a better space for a Raptor would be the land behind The Swarm.
Would love to see a RMC topper track coaster at Kings Island.
2022, RMC topper on the racer for KI 50th
I would love to see some sort of large RMC conversion in the near future after Leviathan at Sea World Gold Coast will be made hopefully without delay in 2021. I would love to see a conversion that would give some more needed thrills so Queensland. I would love to see some inversions on the coaster but I feel like it would focus more on air time due to its twisty layout. The layout would also be similar to an out and back but with more of a circular layout. Awesome video, your channel is by far one of the best.
Australian Themepark Enthusiast Actually Sea world Gold Coast isn’t even an Sea World park. Its operators are the ones who own Dreamland and Warner brothers movie world also in Australia. Strange I know.
It’s like Walibi Sud-Est.
Kennywood needs to work with RMC. They should bring them in to either retrofit Thunderbolt (that's the only wooden coaster Kennywood can technically do that to since Jackrabbit and The Racer are National Historic Landmarks). Thunderbolt has gotten brutally rough the last few years. The terrain that it runs through would be amazing for an RMC. Maybe even a lauched RMC? or a Raptor would work well at Kennywood running down thru that valley the Thunderbolt and Phantom runs through, and have it twist through the 2 of them. (Although, that area and layout would be amazing for a blitz coaster, too. )
Even though I know it got a Raptor, I'd love to see an RMC retrofit of Grizzly at California's Great America. That coaster is begging for a mercy kill of some sorts. As for my own custom RMC, I would love to see a racing RMC hybrid modeled after the Long Beach Cyclone Racer. Maybe have 3 different tracks, with the third track being the most thrilling with inversions.
I will go with a ground up hyper hybrid with a 7 or 8 seconds of air time masive top hat hill like SteVe's and a stall with a bunny hop.
Location : my backyard.
If I’d have an RMC built I’d have a 100-150 ft hybrid called Rock Star, it would have a more compact layout with a crazy wave turn and a zero g stall and maybe a new element for an RMC like a slightly overbanked helix. It would also have some theming like maybe have part of the ground around the ride is made to look like a concert stage.
As for a coaster that should be RMC’d. I think Magnus Colossus, an sbno coaster in Spain, should be RMC’d, it’s built on a mountain terrace and it looks like it has a ton RMC potential
I have my homepark as Great Escape and they desperately need a new coaster and it’d work perfectly if they replaced the arrow corkscrew with a raptor because the plot of land literally is on a plateau overlooking the parking lot and it’d be such a cool centerpiece and their first coaster in over a dozen years
Premium content as always; I also think the UK is lacking this type of coaster. Would be cool to see maybe a launched hybrid with low to the ground airtime elements at Alton Towers.
From NY, living in Japan and an RMC at Fuji Q would be amazing 😍probably a raptor thought because they don’t have a lot of land. Can’t wait to visit nagashima spa land 🤞🏼🤞🏼
The Boss at SFSTL neeeeds it.
Great video! i'm really hoping either kings island or SSGA with Aeagle.
If we're talking retrofits, I absolutely agree that American Eagle should get the RMC treatment. With a ride that big it could easily be top 15 in the world!
Look I know this gets said a lot but the perfect candidate for RMC in North America right now is The Boss at SF St. Louis. Right now the ride is ridiculously rough. They already have an awesome New Gen wooden coaster in American Thunder and they have an old school woody in Screamin Eagle. The Boss has the perfect structure for a crazy terrain RMC hybrid and it already has a drop of 150ft. What is another 50 feet? CCI sucks and CCI with Gerstlauer trains are even worse. This is the draw SF St. Louis needs to compete with Worlds of Fun, Silver Dollar City, Holiday World, and to a lesser extent SF Great America.
I know this is a HUGE long shot and nobody likes Six Flags America, but if they RMCd Roar, it honestly might bring the overall quality of the park up by a lot, making Six Flags actually do some maintenance on it instead of just neglecting the park. It's inbetween two MAJOR cities and has real potential to really bring in the crowds, if Six Flags would actually pay any attention to it.
I could see Hershey coneverting there dualing coasters it would be like twisted coloussus but on the other coast and they would retrack wildcat and make it smooth
TechZ but the problem is Lightning Racer is a great coaster always in top ten in top woodies on golden ticket
Is their any chance at all for Knoebels to team up with RMC for Knoebels 100th anniversary coming up in a few years for a crazy Boulderdash style coaster on the mountain side? Asking for a friend 😉
What about Six Flags: Great America?
Yes. They already have an RMC, but it's probably the easiest one to relocate because its almost a perfect rectangle. Not only can they move Goliath to St. Louis, America, or Darien Lake, and have it be #1 ride at the park, but its CHEAP! (Six Flags favorite word!) Also, Great American Eagle would be a conversion, not ground up, (cheaper). If they made Gwazi 205' when it was previously 105', just imagine what RMC could do with American Eagles 160'. It is the last conversion that can take records and hopefully Six Flags sees the potential in making a move like this.
Considering the Eagle broke so many records when it was built, and still holds some of them 40 years later; if they make it a hybrid, it has to be a record breaker.
One popular rumour is American Eagle at Six flags great America getting the RMC treatment. Although, if they did it, it would probably be small in height and a lot of corners would be cut to bring down the cost. That ride has so much potential and they'll probably screw it up. Lol
I think Kings Island should get an RMC. Personally it doesn’t matter what kind, it could be a raptor or a hyper hybrid, but it should go where vortex was at. There’s a big gap in KI’s coaster line up for intense coasters and an RMC would be great for the park
Hey small correction Hersheypark owned the land it’s building Candamonum on for a fairly long time 10+ years.
If Thorpe Park were to get a raptor it would most likely be on the island near the swarm and would have a custom layout. Also the plot of land pointed out in this video for a hybrid would have to wait at least 4 years as the only free space to give access to guests from the rest of the park is currently taken up by 2 scare mazes for fright nights. One of which was new for 2019
Oh I would love to see any RMC in Hansa Park, it’s only around 3 and a half hours away from me
I think would love to see one at lagoon in Farmington Utah. Its also really close to rmc's headquarters so shipping the track to Utah wouldn't be very hard.
I think Frontier City could use one. No clue where it would go though. Or if RMC wants to be crazy they could always give the New Texas Giant a makeover. RMC an RMC if you will 😂 I have heard other people talking about this, and it’s a really neat idea that’d be really amazing if it happened. SFOT needs something bigger I think.
So Hershey is my home park. Growing up there with season passes means walking by Wildcat on every visit and just sighing. I don't even ride it these days. I'd rather them RMC lightning racer because, in my opinion, it would draw more attention and dueling definitely isn't off the table for RMC. Either would be great, so it doesn't really matter. What do you think about the space with both of these rides though? Wildcat's layout is compact it's right on the edge of the park, and Lightning Racer is crushed between the waterpark and the edge of the park.
I really hope they RMC Wildcat at HersheyPark. It’s my home park and I’ve been dying to ride an RMC, plus wildcat is an awful ride. No one rides it anymore, it gives people headaches it’s so rough and is just not an enjoyable ride whatsoever. The park can be crammed and there will still be no line for it. I know it has history but there’s no saving it. And if they won’t RMC Wildcat, I would love them to build a ground up RMC hyper. It would be an amazing addition and give Hershey one of the best and unique coaster lineups in the country and really make the park stand out even more
Idk,but another solid option is a Topper Track coaster for smaller parks(like Kolmarden) or Raptors,by any mean,RMC is a big player in the industry
my home park is parque warner in Madrid, Spain. Do you think coaster express will become an rmc? I think that being the longest wooden coaster in europe and that it is so rought can be a very good rmc
I think Canada’s Wonderland needs a ground up hyper hybrid to beat the height, speed, and vertical angle records (hopefully not just by one foot/kilometre per hour/degree). I think it should be the second longest hybrid (not beating Steel Vengeance) but over 5000 ft long so it feels like a long ride. Maybe it could even beat or at least tie the inversion record. It would do so well at the park, especially considering Canada’s Wonderland gets higher attendance than Cedar Point. They should take down Wilde Beast and build it back there where they can go almost all the way to the street past the parking lot next to the kids area.
Also, what’s your podcast called?
There is no way it would beat the inversion record! Unless you mean for woodies because in that case, I fully agree!
I could see an Asian Sunac Park get a Hyper Hybrid, RMC American Eagle could reach 200ft, it'd be great at Hershey, but I'd personally love to see one at Busch Gardens Williamsberg.
If I could do an RMC Layouts, of course a Hybrid. make 207ft tall, 92.5 degree drop. The elements on the first elements would be: Jojo Roll out the station, lift hill, drop, speed hill, reverse Zadra Turnaround, and Iron Gwazi's Death Roll, but it stalls.... So more of a Death Stall.
About the Thorpe park one
What about the land next to swarm?
You seem to forget about the hyper concept that Vekoma made for Energylandia back when it was a contest between it an the (IMO) inferior Intamin, Vekoma is fully capable of building hyper coasters, it's just that their would-be debut was shafted for an Intamin that only got worse with each revision of the layout. It's Vekoma's lost project, honestly if Lech Coaster and their other new coaster models are up to the hype then I'm pretty sure it would have blown the lackluster Intamin they actually built out of the water with that AMAZING looking twister finale.
Vekoma is fully capable of building hyper-coasters, it's just that no park has yet to pull the trigger on one yet for some reason even if the one concept they did kicked Intamin's ass.
If you're confused as to what I'm talking about this is the ride in question; ruclips.net/video/NFQaFSs7PmE/видео.html, BTW this is the Vekoma that opened my eyes to how good they've become.
I'm almost certain RMC Predator at Six Flags Darien Lake will happen. It's just a matter of time.
Charley Hibschweiler I’ve seen screaming it for years! They can get really creative with the lake too
I reckon Djurs Sommerland in Denmark could get a hybrid from RMC - they keep building coasters, but they are yet to have something that is or look like a wooden coaster.
Europe needs more hybrids, for me i would love to see one in the efteling. I know it may sound weird cause its really a family park, but i dont know for sure but i think they are getting a new plot of land or already owning it. If it will ever become reality it is going to be by far the best themed hybrid maybe even the best themed coaster in the world.
Untamed is my number 1 coaster because of the speed, the inversions, weird airtime and because I could ride it with my 5 year old son!!! Zadra I was going to ride next month, but I think it will become next year... Maybe next year my son will be able to ride Hyperion with me ;-) In the Netherlands, where I live, we have no hyper coasters, haha! How about a polercoaster- launched RMC (T-REX) at Hersey Park, with a darkride beneath it and a (chocolate fountain) droptower on the side? Efteling is my favorite park and needs a very high themed RMC!!
Hansa is a great park. I can see this happening! The lift could have a great view of the Baltic! And I doubt most local German and Danish GP would head to Krakow.
Holiday Worlds should most definitely make the Legend a RMC
As cool as it would be to see Fuji-Q get an RMC hyper, the problem is how are they going to fit it in and what coaster do they need to remove to do it? Fuji-Q isn't exactly a very big park so space is something they would have to heavily consider when adding in new attractions, let alone roller coasters.
